Developing minority women and entrepreneurs
Small businesses are at the heart of the American economy. They drive economic growth and innovation and create about two-thirds of new jobs in the United States. As the number of new business apps has grown in the United States, women and minorities have continued to face barriers in starting and growing businesses. In this segment presented by Wells Fargo, business leaders, policy experts and advocates will discuss these challenges as well as the role of the private sector and government in supporting the creation, maintenance and expansion of small businesses owned by women and diverse interests.
